Reply to Bad Diplomacy = Flawed Game = Bad Value in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]but if the single player side of Sins (the diplo and the AI) don't receive sufficient attention then there's really no reason for me to continue buying Ironclad's products. I have no use for developers that neglect SP gamers. The amusing thing is that a good number of MP folks complain about the opposite - that it's only the SP crowd that's getting attention, and not them.Who's right? Neither.Then both sides are unhappy, what do I care? All I care about is whether the SP game is fun to p

[quote]- LAN supported multiplay. (extra high marks for this)Not that I disagree with the post but on this point, who, especially in the RTS category, has 'not' supported LAN play?[/quote] HellgateLondon is the first one that comes to mind. It has been whispered here and there that this was going to be a more standardized practice usually to deter pirating, so I was glad to see it included in this game and my buddy and I fired it up and played without a problem this past weekend.<br/

[quote]Just because this game isn't for you doesn't make this a bad game or 'needing months of work' to get better. And just because you do like it doesn't mean it's a great game that everyone will enjoy and that it's perfect and needs no further work. Opinion is just that. For my part, I bought it, I'm stuck with it (because Stardock's registration system is such that I can't legitimately sell it) so there's nothing for me to do but try to get the parts of the game that are poor (the AI, the d

What a wonderful game - KUDOS Ironclad in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I've been a long time fan of good strategy based games, the most fond memories being of the Heroes Of Might And Magic series (with some noteable exceptions). Until now I haven't found a single game that could hold a candle to them in approachability and immersive fun. This game took me by surprise because I HATE RTS games that are nothing but click fests, but in this game I have found a wonderful game that makes RTS an approachable medium filled with strategy and fun. Along wi

[quote]So you're saying that no one in the world can play SoaSE because you have issues?Yes, if you looked at other threads, I am hardly the only one with this problem. Running the game on a high-end gaming computer, there is no reason the game should be crashing. You try playing a game, you pay $40 on, for over 4hrs just for it to continuously mini-dump every time you get to a particular point in the game. And this has happened for every game I have begun. This problem makes playing multiplayer

[quote]I should add that, considering its admirable level of post-release support, Sins may be worth another look a few months down the road. I wouldn't buy it now, though.[/quote] Just because this game isn't for you doesn't make this a bad game or 'needing months of work' to get better. It's gotten high marks from all gaming sites, and deservedly so. I bought it, love it, and talked my two friends into getting it and they love it too. It's a great 'new feeling' game as it's

Reply to Unacceptable Experience in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I love these posts - where the users crappy computer is somehow the developers fault. Installed and playing without any issues on my computer, my best friends computer, and another friends computer last night that I suggested he buy this game. It's well written, engaging, and a very well coded game.
